ENLIVENED THINGS.
School Controllers Becomo Irascible
and Exchange Some Bather Un
complimentary Komarks.
A discussion at Inst night's meeting
of the school board over tho action of
the building committee In giving an
order for window shades without the
consent of tho board Itself led up to
what seemed at first might result In a
personal encounter.
It was started by Chairman Evans,
of the supply committee, who moved
that the secretary advertise for bids
for the furnishing of window shades
for the three new school buildings. Mr.
Evans said ho was prompted to make
the motion because he understood that
tho building committee had already
taken matters Into Its own hands and
ordered the shades.
He nsked the secretary If this was
so and was told that It was. Then ho
said:
"I want to know by what right this
was dune. Who gave you the right?"
ho said, turning to Chairman Roche,
of the building committee.
"When we get those shades up," re
plied that gentleman, "I'll tnke Mr.
Kvans around and show him that they
will be all right.
"I don't want you to show me those
shades at all," responded Mr. Kvans;
"I want to know right now, this min
ute, what right you had to order
them."
"Well, I don't want to be held re
sponsible," said Mr. Hoc-he; "I didn't
make the motion to order the shades.
I was In the chair at the time."
At this point Mr. Kvans asked Sec
retary Fellows to read the minutes of
the committee meeting when the
shades were ordered, and this was
done, showing that the price was 16V4
cents per square foot and that an or
der was given for shades for tho three
buildings at an average cost of $500
per building.
Mr. Kvans contended then that this
was three times the cost heretofore
paid for shades, whereupon Mr. Walsh
suggested that they be placed only on
the sunny side of the buildings.
"That's a good Idea," said Captain
May, "we've got the shady side here."
Mr. Kvans also contended that the
building committee had ordered thirty
two teachers' desks without the au
thority of tho board and persisted In
criticizing tho committee for what ho
termed "their gross violation of the
established rules of the board."
This aroused Mr. Gibbons, who Is a
member of the committee, but who
had announced nt the beginning of tho
argument that he remembered tho
transaction at mo time and didn't
think then It was right, l.e said:
"I'm not thinking of stopping the
course of the gentleman from the Fif
teenth, but I do object to him coming
In here and charging the building
committee with doing what he has
done in his own ward. He's had Jl.ROO
worth of work done there on his own
hook. If that Is an act of crookedness
he's got dirty hands himself and he's
got no right to accuse other people."
Mr. Kvans was on his feet In a mo
ment despite the rat-tat-tat of Presi
dent Jayne's gavel and his words of
warning.
"I brand that as a falsehood," he
shouted, "and I'll make you prove ev
ery word you said."
"You know very well," responded
Mr. Gibbons, who also arose In his
seat, which is next to Mr. Kvans, ns
he stood looking him In the face, "that
you had a cellar wall torn clown In
No. "
But Mr. Kvans Interrupted with a
remarks that brought every member
to his feet and for a time it looked as
If gore might have to be spilled In or
der to calm the Irascibility of the two
principals to this personal discussion.
But Chairman Jayne rapped vigorous
ly for order, other members Inter
vened and the Incident was finally
brought to a close without tho need
of an nmbulance. It was a case of
quick temper soon regretted and Is
not likely to recur.
A motion to lay Mr. Kvans" motion
on the table was offered by Mr. Shires
when the excitement had subsided, but
was lost by the following vote:
Yeas Shires, Roche, Schaefer,
Xeuls, Walsh, Schriefer, Gibbons 7.
Xays Francois, H. J. O'Malley, Ky
non, Phillips, Golden, Dr. O'Malley,
May, Jennings, Barker, Selnvass,
Leonard, Jayne 12.
Mr. Evans' motion vns then put and
adopted almost unai!:-.-ously.
COURT LIBERAL IN
LICENSE MATTERS
Opera Cafe and Globe Hotel Reli-
censed and the Bunu Hotel
License Transferred.
Judge Edwnrds yesterday granted li
censes to the Opera Cafe, 310 Spruce
street, and the Globe hotel, 227 Wyo
ming avenue. At the midsummer day
session, August 13 last, the licenses
for these places, held respectively by
P. V. Moran nnd Thomas F. Clark,

up a healthy respect for tho sincerity
and pggresslveness of the Men's union.
Judge Kelly granted the Flannery li
cense. Judge KdwnrdB approved the peti

JURY EXONERATES
ACCUSED WOMAN
WITNESSES SAY RUSNOCK
SCALDED HIMSELF.
Inquest In the Case of tho Marsh
wood Man Who Died from Scalds
Brings Out tho Story That It Was
Whllo Attempting to Scald His
Boarding Mistress That Rusnock
Received tho Injury Which Caused
His Death County Detectlvo Is
Not Satisfied.
The Jury empannelcd by Coroner J.
J. Roberts to Inquire Into tho cause of
the death of Michael Rusnock, the
Marshwood miner, who died at the
Lackawanna hospital Sunday morning
of scalds, which wero salcl to have
been Inflicted by Mrs. John Rusnock,
his boarding mistress, decided last
night that Mrs, Rusnock Is In no way
culpable.
The six good men and true, Michael
Bosak, Llewellyn Davis, James Osklns,
P. II. Gibbons, John J. Murray and
Anton Gllnsky, further decided that
Rusnock himself was the only one ac
countable for his death, and that It
was whllo making nn effort to attack
the boarding mistress, with a caldron
of boiling water, that tho heated
liquid splashed out nnd Inflicted the
terrible burns which killed him.
The testimony of several disinter
ested witnesses was heard, and they till
told tho same connected story, which
was in effect thnt Rusnock uuarreled
over his board bill; that he was very
much Intoxicated, and finally struck
Mrs. Rusnock with nn ash shovel, fol
lowing this up by picking tho kettlo
of boiling water off the kitchen stove,
and swinging It about. The kettle lid
was detached at the time, and as a
result the water splashed out.
At the conclusion of the Inquest Mrs.
Rusnock was taken before 'Squire
Cummlngs and given a hearing on the
charge of manslaughter, preferred by
County Detective Thomas Leyshon.
'Squire Cummlngs hoard the evidence,
and discharged the case.
There was a general feeling of sym
pathy for Mrs. Rusnock yesterday
when she wus arrested, and the room
In Prokopovltz's hotel at Olyphant,
when tho Inquest was held last nlcht,
was crowded with her friends, who
evidenced their good will In a hearty
fashion when the favorable verdict
was rendered.
At tho Inquest the commonwealth
was represented by Assistant District
Attorney W. Gaylord Thomas and
County Detective Leyshon. Mrs. Rus
nock's side of the case was looked
after by Attorney Jnnios J. O'Malley.
LEYSHON NOT CONVINCED.
County Detectlve Leyshon was much
chagrined at the turn that affairs took,
and even after the Inquest declared
that he was not satisfied of Mrs. Rus
nock's innocence.
Mike Drabis, Jr., the first witness
called, testified that he was present
at John Rusnock's boarding house
Friday night, Aug. 17, and heard the
quarrel between Mrs. Rusnock and
Michael Rusnock. Michael, he said,
was Intoxicated, and quarrel with the
boarding mistress about his bill. There
were angry words between tho two
and then Michael seized a small
shovel, lying nearby, which was used
for putting coal on the fire, and struck
Mrs. Rusnock on the head with It.
He followed this up by running to
the stove and seizing tlie kettle, which
was full of boiling water. He swung
this blindly behind his back and the
water splashed out, the kettlo lid
being detached, and Inflicted several
scalds on him. Ho then staggered out
of the house and went to the home of
a neighbor and spent the night there.
The witness was a young boy, and
he told his story In a frank, straight
forward manner, which had a very
convincing air of truthfulness about
It. He stoutly persisted In his state
ments on a very rigid cross-examination
by Coroner Roberts, Attorney
Thomes and Detectlvo Leyshon.
Dr. Xelson Newbury was then
sworn and testified that he was ac
quainted with tho Rusnock family,
having at times treated various of the
men boarding at the house. During
his absence from home Aug. 17, Dr.
C. W. Wunder, of the Lackawanna
hospital staff, who was attending to
his practice, was called to see to Rus
nock's injuries and recommended that
he be taken to the Lackawanna hos
pital. John Reglnsky, of Mooslc, the next
witness examined, was at John Rus
nock's homo on the night of the scald
ing. He wns upstairs the time the
quarrel started, but came down when
the tumult became very noticeable.
On arriving at the foot of the stnirs
he saw Rusnock strike the woman on
the hand with a shovel, nnd then seize
the caldron of water. He swung It
In the air nnd tho caldron splashed
over himself.
SIGNIFICANT STORY.
Mrs. Peter Dubee, of Mooslc, swore
that she knew Mr. nnd Mrs, John
Rusnock nnd Michael Rusnock, their
boarder. The last time she saw Mich
ael alive was on Aug. 17, when he

came to her house scalded, lato at
night, crying for help.
Mrs. John Rusnock called on him
tho next day and reproached him for
attempting to scald her. Michael did
not tell the witness how he was scald
ed, but manifested Ignorance of all
that happened tho previous night.
Martin Drablc, n former boarder at
Rusnock's, then gave his testimony.
On the night of Aug. 17 he was the
witness of a quarrel between Michael
Rusnock and tho boarding mistress,
caused by her telling him that he must
leave the house if he continued drink
ing. Michael seized her by the throat
and he( Drablc) separated them. Lat
er In the night he saw Mrs. Rusnock
after the scalding took place nnd she
told him that Michael had scalded
himself In an effort to Injure her.
John Rusnock, cousin of the dead
man. In whose house the scalding
occurred, was then put on tho stand.
He testified that on the night In ques
tion his cousin abused his wife's
mother, at which she told him that ho
must leave the house Inside a week,
and added that she no longer Intended
to keep boarders. Later on Michael
attacked tho witness nnd struck him
twice over tho head with a beer bot
tle, at which he sought refuge In an
other room. Michael then turned his
attention to Mrs. Rusnock, with the
result that he himself was scalded.
This concluded the evidence and the
Jury soon after delivered tie verdict.
The funeral of Michael Rusnock
took place yesterday afternoon.
PROSPECrS ARE BRIGHT.
Ordinance for the Viaduct Is to Be
Presented at Once for Consid
eration of Councils,
The prospects for commencing the
work of constructing a viaduct over
the West Lackawanna avenue cross
ing of tho Lackawanna railroad before
the snow flies are exceedingly bright.
Should councils rush the viaduct or
dinance through as quickly as possi
ble, and, If there nre no serious legal
tangles, there Is no earthly reason
why there should be any delay In
constructing the long-needed and
much-talkeil-of Improvement.
Tho proposition of the two companies
to construct the viaduct Is to be sent
In writing to the streets and bridges
committee of common council, In
whose hands the viaduct ordinance
Introduced early this year by Mr.
Godshall still remains.
This committee will bring In the
amendments which It will bo neces
sary to add to the ordinance. These
amendments have been prepared by
City Solicitor Vosburg nnd nro now
In tho hands of the ofllclals of both
companies for their consideration.
The principal one provides that the
contractor shall look to tho companies
for his pny, though he will enter Into
a contract with tho city. This Is to
relieve the municipality from any di
rect liability. Other amendments per
mit tho Scranton Railway company to
construct Its tracks on tho viaduct
and to use Seventh and Linden streets
temporarily while the structuro Is be
ing built.
There mny be a few kickers In both
branches who will object to erecting
a viaduct In the center of the street,
but they will bo few nnd far between,
It Is thought, nnd there Is every rea
son to bellevo that tho ordinance will
bo passed, and quickly, too. That It
will receive the mayor's slgnnture In
accepted ns certain.
The point raised by Judgo Knapp
that as tho only money tho city will
have to pay will be the damages to
property owners, there will be no need
for it special election, tho debt thus
contracted being not such a debt as
was contemplated when n debt limit
was fixed, has caused a deal of dis
cussion among tho lawyers, but the
opinion seems to prevail that the
point rahed la a good one.
A prominent nttorney in conversa
tion yesterday afternoon with a Trib
une man said that damages caused
by erecting the viaduct could be
charged up ngulnst the city without
the consent of the taxpayers, Just as
damages caused by the overflow of
surface water or by tho opening of n
street are. "If this ordlnanco passes,"
said, he, "I can see no reason why the
work of erecting the viaduct should
not go on nt once."
City Knglncer Phillips believes that
he will succeed In having inserted In
tho plans nnd speculations a pro
vision for the paving of the vladuot
with asphalt.

Recommendations of tho Special
Teachers Committee Approved
Without Argument A Dig Order
of Music Books Also Made,
After a Littlo Discussion Board
Decided Upon Superintendent
Howell's Recommendation Not to
Open Schools Until Sept 10.
Tho board of control, by nn unnnl
mous vote nnd without argument, de
cided last night to ndopt Sheldon's
language scries, In two books, ns the
standard grammar for the coming
three yenrs, In place of Tarbell's lan
guage book, which latter did not meet
Superintendent Howell's npprovnl.
The report of tho text book commit
tee was merely an endorsement of tho
report of tho special teachcra' commit
tee nppolnted to decide upon tho book.
This committee met In the morning
nnd afternoon nnd listened to short
nddresses on the merits of each par
ticular hook under consideration from
the gllb-tongued ngents selling each.
This teachers' committee was com
posed of the following teachers, all of
whom signed the report: II. Kenimor
llng, D. W. Phillips, Miss Cora Grif
fin, Miss Anna C. Mnlia. Miss Koto
A. Smith, Miss Jessie Kern nnd Miss
Josephine D. Lees. It wns rumored
that there would bo violent opposi
tion to the committee's report, but
everything passed off very smoothly.
A report of the same committee re
commending the purchase of $1,738.15
worth of music books nnd charts for
the Intermediate grades did not faro
so well, however. Mr. Jennings con
tended that there were now 3,200 mu
sic books purchased last year for the
primary grades, lying unused In tho
supply room, becnuso It had been
found that the children did not need
bookJ during the first years and thnt
all they required was charts. He op
posed tho purchase of the new books
for these reasons.
Superintendent Howell was given
the floor nnd explained thnt the 3,200
music books spoken of by Mr. Jen
nings would be nil in use this year,
and that tho Intermediate children
could start In with books without tho
necessity of n preliminary instruction
by means of the chnrt.
THOUGHT IT VERY LOW.
He stated that when It was first pro
posed to Introduce music Into tho
schools he thought It could not be done
for loss than $10,000, but that from
present Indications $0,000 would cover
all. He thought this a very low figure,
nnd In response to an inquiry from
Captain May, said that he would con
sider it a drawback and a setback if
tho study of music was discontinued
In the schools.
The recommendations of the commit
tee were finally adopted.
Chairman Roche, of the building
committee, read a communication from
Superintendent Howell, in which the
latter recommended that for various
reasons the schools be not opened until
beptember 10, Instead of September 4,
Mr. Rocho moved that the recom
mendation of the superintendent be
adopted.
Mr. Gibbons was the first to oppose
the motion and he did so vigorously.
He said:
"Superintendent Howell doesn't want
the schools opened on September 10
any more than I do. Ho wants to bo
boss, that's all. No. 3S Is finished and
No. 9 Is nearly ready, and I think It's
for the best Interests of the children
that we open the schools on Septem
ber 4, as originally planned. There
may be a few children out of town,
but the masses are here and ready to
go to school. Let the superintendent
mind his own business and we'll mind
ours."
Mr. Jennings spoke along tho same
lines, and contended that tho schools
should be open two hundred days
every year. Tho motion was finally
put and carried almost unanimously,
so that the school children now havn
an extra week's vacation.
The following report of the teachers'
committee was adopted:
TKACHERS TRANSFERRED.
The teachers committee make the following
recommendations:
That Ml Julia Martin be transferred from
Intermediate C grade, N'o. 27, to Intermediate
(trade, Xo. 2.1, and that Mls Teresa Cattle be
transferred from Intermediate R crrade, No. 23,
to Intermediate C grade, Xo. 37: that f). W.
Phillips, principal of N'o. 14, be granted a
leaie of absence for eight months on account of
ill health; that II. 1.. Morgan be temporarily
transferred from Xo, 32 to Xo. 14 to fill posi
tion made lac-ant during said leave of alwence of
Mr. Phillip: that W. I). Edwards be tempor
arily transit rred from Xo. 17 to Xo. 32, and that
William .lameison be temporarily appointed to
the princlpalshlp of Xo. 17.
The report of the kindergarten com
mittee, which reads as follows, was
also adopted:
To the President and Members of the Scranton
Hoard of Control.
Ccntlcmen: Tho Kindergarten committee beg
leave to Mihmit the following report: In accord
ance with int ructions of the board of July P,
tho chairman of the committee ha made ar
